Martial smiles again

After an exceptional return from Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial made Manchester United win at Everton (0-3) on Sunday, winning a penalty and scoring his first goal in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United offered themselves a great 3-0 victory at Everton on Sunday afternoon for the 13th day of the Premier League. This meeting at Goodison Park was especially marked by Alejandro Garnacho’s phenomenal goal. The young Argentinian prodigy opened the entry score (3rd) with a magnificent acrobatic recovery! His achievement is worthy of Wayne Rooney’s legendary return in 2011 during a derby against City…

The Red Devils, regularly saved by their goalkeeper André Onana against the Toffees’ attempts, increased the score in the second half. And Anthony Martial is the other man of the match. The French international, who took advantage of the absence of Rasmus Hojlund to start up front, obtained the 2-0 penalty converted by Marcus Rashford (56th).

“Toto” Martial was then served by Bruno Fernandes (75th) to score his first league goal this season. A big relief for the French international, who had only scored in the EFL Cup, contenting himself with reduced playing time in the league and the Champions League since the start of the season.

With this fifth success in six PL matches, Man United (already) moves up to 6th position, four points behind 3rd place, Liverpool and Aston Villa being tied on points. Erik ten Hag’s team must absolutely win against Galatasaray next Tuesday in the UCL, then will try to achieve a big blow against Newcastle, their first pursuer in the standings, on Saturday. Everton are penultimate due to their penalty of 10 points less.
